NSB PICK EM 2023 #40 - #41: SATURDAY 24th JUNE 2023

[SteveM]

Franchon vs Savannah is for undisputed, innit? Crews-Dezurn has all the belts.

are they two major stars though?

but we had Taylor vs Cameron and I can't conceive that anyone is calling Cameron a major star even AFTER she has beaten Taylor - she is afflicted with Bivol syndrome. So we had a unification with one major star.

We did have Savannah of course with Shields, so not like she is unknown.

this week we also have the mens IBF (i think) MW title on the line - could that be an option? I'll answer my own question - probably not, I can't find any odds for it. Meanwhile Mikey G sighs with relief

More than that, we have Nontshinga vs Suganob, the latter apparently is an excellent Filipino fighter (never watched him before). It could be a nice one, like Martinez vs Bornea last Saturday. Here is an article on Suganob:

What about that, PICK EM CREW ?

I keep on NOT pulling the trigger on x5 opportunities on the underdogs - i knew Cameron was going to beat Katie cos Katie has been just having to make a super human effort just to get close decisions recently plus her age and wear and tear. But I still talked myself out of it. I'm feeling trigger happy now lol

We are passing halfway mark so you should pull the trigger on one of those. I had Taylor on a parlay too and she did me dirty so that’ll be the first and last time I wager on a chick fight.

i sometimes thing the women are easier to get right. yeah, this only being able to put multiples on dogs means that there are actually not that many opportunies to realistically use em

As I said last year already, my opinion is that multipliers should be entirely erased from the game. That way you would have the players' real worth coming to the surface.

Well yes, but then I'd stand no chance

I Think koba has it right when he talks about the element of entertainment that keeps it interesting.

I am one correct X5 pick from leaping to the top, if I had to overcome mammoth and finito (and you) with just totally correct picks I don't think I could likely do it before year end, even though we're only half way through

In general I'd rather avoid these minimum weight Asian fights but I'd prefer a competitive fight rather than no fight.

So you must be itching to follow up your kownacki winnings with another bet. Who's your pick this week?

Believe it or not, I'm REALLY itching - for an allergy! It's driving me mad

I'm still considering options for the next weekend. However, big chances like the one on Kownacki - grossly overrated by the bookies in spite of three losses in a row and clear signs of complete shot-ness - are extremely rare. I'll have to see the odds on the single rounds for Jared Anderson's knockout, or even Makhmudov's... We'll see.
